A real video of a cat squirming around on 2 feet and freaking out in a hallway. A cartoon guitar has been drawn over top of the image to make it appear as though the cat is standing up playing guitar, stumbling around, and rocking out hard.

I'm at 25 of 30 articles in my 30 days challenge! Todays article is almost done.
It's difficult to write every single day, I'm glad I'm doing this challenge, and I look forward to finish it :D

Also, I'm happy with the writing of my latest article, probably my favorite so far:

Thanks @michaeltharrington 🙌 Commitment is important to me, progress is always coming through iterating, sticking, re-trying even if it brings nothing for days, the end is always rewarding!

Thank you Thaísa for the support 🙏
Yes being consistent is hard! Even if I try to plan my days as much as possible, unplanned things are coming daily in our lives, or some tasks may take 2-3 hours more than expected.

Keep writing, it brings a lot of value for you and everyone!

Thank you @qyrus 🙏 Everyday is kind of a new challenge: Writing represent 25% of the time spent, and preparing projects examples and good visuals is 75% (like GIF/Diagrams). Even if I already prepared all subjects, code examples aren't always working the first time (that's part of programming ahah)

I got to go see Queens of the Stone Age live in Raleigh last night!

A promo for Queens of the Stone Age's tour... in a black & white we see a zoomed out shot of a big stage with the band on it and you can see the words "The End is Nero" written over top of it in red

They played one helluva set.
